Vehicle remote control apparatus and vehicle remote control system using the same

Abstract

A vehicle remote control apparatus has: A) a first transmitter for outputting an authentication request signal to a mobile device including a radio terminal assigned with an identification code special to a vehicle and outputting an authentication response signal corresponding to the identification code; B) a second transmitter for outputting an interference wave to cancel the authentication request signal at the same time as the first transmitter transmits the authentication request signal; C) a receiver for receiving the authentication response signal output from the mobile device in response to the authentication request signal, thereby checking authenticity of the authentication response signal; and D) a controller for controlling operation of an on-vehicle equipment based on the result of authentication of the authentication response signal.

Description

[0001]THIS APPLICATION IS A U.S. NATIONAL PHASE APPLICATION OF PCT INTERNATIONAL APPLICATION PCT / JP2004 / 015875.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a vehicle remote control apparatus for controlling a vehicle by authenticating a mobile device including a radio terminal assigned with an identification code special to the vehicle.BACKGROUND ART[0003]In recent years, there have been rapidly developed a vehicle remote control apparatus capable of opening and closing a vehicle door lock without inserting a key into the door. FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram of a conventional vehicle remote control system and FIG. 7 is an operation sequence diagram of the vehicle remote control apparatus shown in FIG. 6. In other words, FIG. 7 shows a sequence of outputting of signals from various units. FIG. 8 and FIG. 10 are also configuration diagrams of the conventional vehicle remote control system in different situations and FIG. 9 and FIG. 11 are operation sequence diagrams in the...

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a vehicle remote control apparatus that includes a first transmitter, a second transmitter, a receiver, and a controller. The first transmitter sends an authentication request signal to a mobile device with a special identification code for the vehicle, and the mobile device sends an authentication response signal in response. The second transmitter sends an interference wave to cancel out the authentication request signal. The receiver receives the authentication response signal and checks its authenticity. The controller controls the operation of the vehicle's equipment based on the authentication result. This invention prevents unauthorized access to the vehicle and ensures safety."
